Large float = more shares that must be covertly purchased to gain control. Also an influence is a large shareholder base (reportedly 26,000 of us). How many shareholders, holding this long with as much optimism as expressed on this board for instance, are willing to let lose of their shares for 50 cents? A buck? Two bucks? Having held this long, we've demonstrated our stubborness.
Then, what happens with a take-over, if by some stretch it could be accomplished? Would the Master Agreement remain in effect? Would the patent rights roll to TPL?
All just food for your thoughts.....
